I really liked living in Austin, but I'm thinking smaller. Terre Haute, Urbana-Champaign, Kalamazoo, State College, Denton, Madison, Manhattan (Kansas), Binghamton, and many others, depending on your taste in climate, topography, and politics. Maybe Burlington, but the cost of living in Vermont is surprisingly high considering how sparsely populated it is.

I'm surprised you mentioned Terre Haute, but not Bloomington, IN (where Indiana University is located), which is really much, much, much nicer than Terre Haute.

List was off the cuff -- I've been to or know people who've lived in those places. Bloomington sounds quite nice, but it didn't come to mind.
